Don West Ice Cream Photo Backlash Leaves Daughter ‘Mortified’

As if the “knock knock” joke wasn’t bad enough, Zimmerman defense lawyer Don West sparked even more controversy and backlash this week after his daughter posted an ice cream selfie during the trial’s recess with an insensitive caption.

Early critics of Don West’s ice cream selfie thought that the photo was taken in the midst of Jeantel’s testimony, and that the “we beat stupidity” line was in reference to the witness.

In any case, a spokesperson for the West family has confirmed that the photo is indeed real, and that Molly West is “mortified” by the reaction she has gotten. She also apologized for the “grossly insensitive” photo.

Don West also commented on the ice cream photo:

“We’re not always proud of things our children do, but we love them anyway, and then we move on,” he said.

Here’s Don West’s ice cream photo one more time. Let us know what you think:

If this was in response to Dad's stupidity that 1st day of the trial – then she shouldn't have added all those hashtags. Really sick that she doesn't understand that one young man lost his life & another man may lose his as well – regardless of the facts. This is the most firey case since the Rodney King trial. The facts in the Zimmerman case have been skewed, mis-reported & worse. The guy needs a fair trial – we all want fair trials. And this little spoiled – non-thinking girl makes herself look as stupid as her daddy. Molly, an ice cream cone doesn't fix your daddy's "stupidity". And you look like you were talking about someone else.

Good. I hope that ice cream was extra delicious. The fact that Zimmerman is even at trial is a sign of a broken justice system. All because of stupid racist ni**ers wanted to see a white man get lynched.
